The Stories That Matter: The Real Work of Reconciliation in Business

This session offers senior HR professionals a meaningful opportunity to explore the evolving role of Truth and Reconciliation in today’s workplace. Through the power of storytelling—including the use of Indigenous ledger book art—we’ll look at how culture, identity, and inclusion intersect in real and relevant ways. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on how their own HR policies tell a story: about who they are, what their organization values, and how those values are put into practice through hiring, conflict of interest management, and other everyday decisions.

We’ll also look at the legal responsibilities HR professionals carry under the Canadian Human Rights Act and other key legislation, along with how today’s changing legal landscape may affect future policy work. This session is both reflective and practical—designed to offer insight, strategy, and a sense of shared purpose.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

Recognize their place within the broader story of Canadian business and reconciliation.

Approach challenging EDI and TRC scenarios with greater clarity and confidence.

Find a sense of connection and support within this important, ongoing journey.
